Am I the poor relation?

[screenman]

He was cheated on, I stick by my poor fellow bit.

 

[Drago]

Don't know what he may have done to deserve it, so I'll reserve judgement.

There are poor people and rich people. Some were born that way, some have chosen to exchange one for the other.

None of this determines whether they are nice or not.

Hoping that other people's apparent wealth is masking stressful debt and infidelity doesn't strike me as the characteristic of a nice person.

You don't work for Kodak do you??

Not much of Kodak left. Their old building is posh 'luxury' flats.

Didn't know that, my Dad worked for them when they suppied and fixed photocopiers in the '80s and '90s, so was down in 'Hemel' all the time on courses.

My sister worked for Kodak in the 80-90's too, they shrank quite a bit in Hemel and she now works for boots the chemist .....

She'll retire way before me

He controls his wife and children, maybe she decided to strike out and do her own thing to break that hold he had over her.

Small world!!

This is only a trivial thing, but has got me wondering....................

Having been a member of my local cycling club for about 4 years now, I have noticed that the normal standard for housing seems to be the detached 5 bedroom barn conversion/farmhouse with at least 3 log burners, the nearest neighbour about 10 miles away and the property being worth about £1M plus and about 7 acres of land to boot.

Now, my 3 bedroomed semi in a lovely spot on the edge of a lovely market town does suit me perfectly, but in club circles I do feel like the poor relation!!

Maybe just my imagination

'Elitist'..

I live in a box on the edge of Tesco's...

It's detached though..

Nearest neighbour is the Bottle Bank.

some people think you are the scrap man

 

[Gravity Aided]

Most people, actually. It's just a hidden gold mine. Paid the bills a couple of times during the recent economic unpleasantness.
